2. Contextual Workflows to Understand Baseline and Isolate Root Cause of Problems

Reduce Mean-Time-To-Knowledge (MTTK) with alerts on deviations from normal performance using configured tests in nPoint devices to reduce Mean-Time-To-Resolution (MTTR)


3. Monitor from Wired and Wi-fi Connections

Compare performance over wired and Wi-Fi isolate if problem is with Wi-Fi


4. Infrastructure Performance Monitoring

Monitor health of server, routers, switches, interface, VMware and Wi-Fi infrastructure. It can also view health metrics such as CPU utilization, memory, disk usage, channel utilization, error, etc.


NetScout has set a standard for digital experience monitoring and visibility by combining real-time wire-data monitoring in the nGeniusOne platform with synthetic testing and infrastructure health monitoring from user locations leveraging nGeniusPulse on nPoint sensors, providing IT with solutions for quality end-user experience.


nGeniusPulse is the latest addition to the nGenius Platform, by adding synthetic testing and infrastructure health monitoring. nGeniusPulse extends the service-oriented approach of nGeniusOne and Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI).

Arbor Edge Defense

In this world, DDoS attacks are evolving. The new preferred method of DDoS attack is a multi-vector dynamic direct path attack that adjusts vectors and methodologies to continually evade existing DDoS defenses. Add to this the ransomware, phishing attempts and compromised IoT devices and how the organizations are under constant risk from all types of advanced cyber threats. To address these evolving threats, the security teams need solutions that can adapt to the changing attacks. This solution is also able to integrate into an organization's existing security stack and/or consolidate functionality to reduce cost, complexity and risk. To answer all the statements, NetScout launched a solution called Arbor Edge Defense.
